Following up on CBS News’s Tuesday morning story about an exodus from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division over the orders not to open up an investigation into ICE agent Jonathan Ross over the murder of Renee Good, the New York Times adds to the disgraceful picture with additional reporting that the top three prosecutors in the Minnesota US Attorney’s office quit when they were commanded to open an investigation into Good’s widow, Rebecca, who was present at the scene.
The most on-brand part of this is that one of the guys who quit, Deputy US Attorney Joseph H Thompson, oversaw all the prosecutions into the welfare fraud in the state and obviously had been tasked with continuing those cases, the fraud being the whole reason ICE is in Minneapolis now.
